News Club
The place to go for conversations about the news. Each Saturday, Claire Kimball and Kate Watson present the Weekly Wrap - the week in news and what's coming up. Super handy if you're busy and want a recap of the week that was, a way to get ahead of next week and some helpful news recommendations on your way through... Then there's our limited interview series, in which Kate sits down with journalists and experts to help give you an understanding of the news behind the headlines. The Squiz is a proudly independent media business that values quality news. If you want to support us, it can be as simple as telling a mate about our podcasts and newsletters. Agenda-free as always. We're your shortcut to be informed.
